IFFBoston Preview 2: Thai prison, long-lost triplets, a drug-dealing Timothée Chalamet

It's hard to believe that it's already that time of year, but the Independent Film Festival Boston (henceforth referred to as IFFBoston), the city's largest gathering of the cinephiles, is upon us. This year's line-up is one of the best in recent memory, as it's positively chock-full of amazing and interesting titles, which will show from April 25 to May 2 at a variety of theaters across the city. Here's our second round of recommended titles, whose screenings take place over the weekend. We have the return of the "Godfather of Mumblecore," a doc about two Godfathers of underground punk, a coming of age tale, and some major festival hits. Be sure to check out the first post and to come back tomorrow, when we'll be covering the last three days of the festival.

Three Identical Strangers

This much-buzzed about documentary sheds light on what should have been a joyous event: Three long-lost triplets being reunited at 19 after being separated and given up for adoption after birth. But even as the Brothers celebrate and become celebrities in their own right, some dark secrets about why they were split up fester beneath the bubbly surface. Directed by longtime TV documentarian Tim Wardle (making his theatrical debut), this film’s central mystery (and it’s ultimate explanation) will baffle you and its skill will amaze. Check it out before all your friends can spoil it for you.

‘THREE IDENTICAL STRANGERS’ :: Saturday, April 28 at The Somerville Theatre, 55 Davis Square in Somerville, MA :: 7:15 p.m., all ages, $12 to $20 :: Advance tickets
